Racing to Save Lives

4/11

Tomorrow is week 11 of training. Yesterday was my "long training day" and I did 10 miles and then turned around and did another 2 miles today. The training is getting longer and more frequent (another 4 miles on the schedule for tomorrow) which is great considering San Diego is only 8 weeks away. (Seeing the 26.2 mile day on my training schedule is both awesome and scary at the same time. I know I will be ready but it’s still a bit of a leap of faith at this point.)

I’ve been fortunate thus far – no training injuries! I’m stretching, hydrating and reading everything I can on what types of food or what different things I can do to improve my speed and distance.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I want to thank all of my friends and family who have donated so far; if you haven’t donated yet (maybe you weren’t sure if I was serious about this or not) NOW IS THE TIME - I’ve never been more serious about anything in my life! Together we can make a difference!
